We can have two types of vlan options depending on context: - per-device vlan options (split in per-bridge and per-port) - global vlan options The second type wasn't supported in the bridge until now, but we need them for per-vlan multicast support, per-vlan STP support and other options which require global vlan context. They are contained in the global bridge vlan context even if the vlan is not configured on the bridge device itself. This patch adds initial netlink attributes and support for setting these global vlan options, they can only be set (RTM_NEWVLAN) and the operation must use the bridge device. Since there are no such options yet it shouldn't have any functional effect. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
